The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) named left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat as senior speedster Mohammed Shami's replacement in India's squad for India vs Bangladesh two-match Test series, starting December 14, Wednesday. Jaydev, after toiling hard for 14 long years in domestic cricket, has earned a comeback in the national Test team. So far, Unadkat has played just a single Test match for the national team, back in 2010. He had a poor outing in that match after which he didn't get any opportunity.
Meanwhile, Jaydev Unadkat's wife took to social media to post a heartwarming reaction of her husband as he donned India's Test jersey after a decade. "That proud wife moment," Unadkat's wife captioned the post. "You make me believe!," Unadkat replied in the comments section.
"Okay, looks like its real! This one’s for all those who have kept believing & supporting me.. I am grateful. #267," Unadkat wrote on Twitter as he reacted to his comeback in Tests.
